1. Subject: The Secretary of Labor’s 

New Freedom Initiative Award. 

2. Purpose: This document extends 

the period for submission of 

nominations for the Secretary of Labor’s 

New Freedom Initiative Award. This 

action is taken to permit increased 

participation by interested stakeholders. 

3. Originator: Office of Disability 

Employment Policy (ODEP). 

4. Dates: Nomination packages must 

be submitted to Secretary of Labor’s 

New Freedom Initiative Award, Office 

of Disability Employment Policy, Room 

S–1303, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20210 by May 31, 2007. 

Any application received after 4:45 p.m. 

EDT on May 31, 2007 will not be 

considered unless it was received before 

the award is made and: 

1. It was sent by registered or certified 

mail no later than May 25, 2007; 

2. It is determined by the Government 

that the late receipt was due solely to 

mishandling by the Government after 

receipt at the U.S. Department of Labor 

at the address indicated; or 

3. It was sent by U.S. Postal Service 

Express Mail Next Day Service—Post 

Office to Addressee, not later than 5 

p.m. EDT at the place of mailing, May 

30, 2007. 

The only acceptable evidence to 

establish the date of mailing of a late 

application sent by registered or 

certified mail is the U.S. Postal Service 

postmark on the envelope or wrapper 

and on the original receipt from the U.S. 

Postal Service. If the postmark is not 

legible, an application received after the 

above closing time and date will be 

processed as if mailed late. ‘‘Postmark’’

means a printed, stamped, or otherwise 

placed impression (not a postage meter 

machine impression) that is readily 

identifiable without further action as 

having been applied and affixed by an 

employee of the U.S. Postal Service on 

the date of mailing. Therefore, 

applicants should request that the postal 

clerk place a legible hand cancellation 

‘‘bull’s-eye’’ postmark on both the 

receipt and the envelope or wrapper. 

The only acceptable evidence to 

establish the time of receipt at the U.S. 

Department of Labor is the date/time 

stamp of the Office of Disability 

Employment Policy on the application 

wrapper or other documentary evidence 

or receipt maintained by that office. 

Applications sent by other delivery 

services, such as Federal Express, UPS, 

e-mail, etc., will also be accepted; 

however, the applicant bears the 

responsibility of timely submission. 

For further information, contact 

Margaret Roffee of the Office of 

Disability Employment Policy at 

telephone (202) 693–7880, (866) ODEP–

DOL, TTY (202) 693–7881, prior to the 

closing deadline. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register of February 12, 2007 

(72 FR 6673), the Office of Disability 

Employment Policy published a 

Solicitation of Nominations for the

Initiative Award. Nomination packages 

were to be submitted to the Office of

2007. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of 

April 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Pursuant to section 408 of ERISA, the 

Department has authority to grant an 

exemption from the prohibitions of 

sections 406 and 407(a) if it can 

determine that the exemption is 

administratively feasible, in the interest 

of participants and beneficiaries, and 

protective of the rights of participants 

and beneficiaries of the plan. Prohibited 

Transaction Class Exemption 85–68 

describes the conditions under which a 

plan is permitted to acquire customer 

notes accepted by an employer of 

employees covered by the plan in the 

ordinary course of the employer’s 

primary business activity. The 

exemption covers sales as well as 

contributions of customer notes by an 

employer to its plan. Specifically, the 

exemption requires that the employer 

provide a written guarantee to 

repurchase a note which becomes more 

than 60 days delinquent, that such notes 

be secured by a perfected security 

interest in the property financed by the 

note, and that the collateral be insured. 

The exemption requires records 

pertaining to the transaction to be 

maintained for a period of six years for 

the purpose of ensuring that the 

transactions are protective of the rights 

of participants and beneficiaries. This 

recordkeeping requirement constitutes 

an information collection within the 

meaning of the PRA, for which the 

Department has obtained approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under OMB Control No. 1210–

0094. The OMB approval is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2007. 

II. Current Actions 

This notice requests public comment 

pertaining to the Department’s request 

for extension of OMB approval of the 

information collection contained in PTE 

85–68. After considering comments 

received in response to this notice, the 

Department intends to submit an ICR to 

OMB for continuing approval. No 

change to the existing ICR is proposed 

or made at this time. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection unless it displays a valid 

OMB control number. A summary of the 

ICR and the current burden estimates 

follows: 

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

Title: Prohibited Transaction Class 

Exemption 85–68. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

OMB Number: 1210–0094. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions. 

Respondents: 525. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Responses: 1900. 

Average Response time [if applicable]: 

1 hour. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1900 

hours. 

Estimated Total Burden Cost: $0. 

III. Focus of Comments 

The Department of Labor 

(Department) is particularly interested 

in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., by permitting electronic 

submissions of responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the ICR for OMB approval 

of the extension of the information 

collection; they will also become a 

matter of public record.
